Instruo Troika triple oscillator

Published on Mar 3, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Troika, from Instruo, is a triple oscillator. It lends itself to beefy keyboard tones with the 1v/oct inputs normalled to each other. Although extremely useful to use it as one sound source, each oscillator can also be used independently for three independent sounds. Each oscillator has sync inputs, and linear FM inputs with attenuation. There is a waveform switch which provides a slider from Sine to Triangle, or Saw to Square. Individual outputs as well as a mix output allow for any configuration, along with individual level control knobs.

Modular synthesizer for beginners - Part V: fill up your system, don´t get blinded

Published on Mar 3, 2017 studentsmusic

"Empty 'starter' rack cases provoke massive beginners-moneyburn. Don´t step into the technology competition trap. Stay reasonable and better create real art with small modulars without caring about mainstream."

Patch Notes #31 - Varigate 8+, Voltage Block & Chord Organ

Published on Mar 3, 2017 Voltage Control Lab

"I was setting up a generative patch using the Malekko Varigate 8+ and Voltage Block, and discovered that Music Thing had released a new module/Radio Music firmware, the Chord Organ, so I had to use it.

Varigate 8+ outputs 5 through 8 are randomized using Random Gate mode, with the END gate out routed back into the RND input, generating slightly (or not so slightly) randomized rhythms from those outs, as well as the Voltage Block when in slave mode. The V8 clock out is routed to the VB clock in, so the clock/slave modes can be toggled, randomizing the VB sequences in slave mode but not in clock mode.

V8 channel 5 is routed out to Make Noise Maths channel 1 trigger input, then from the unity output to trigger the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, and from the channel 1 out to the pitch input on the BI to give a little punchier of a kick. The output is routed to the Malekko Mix4.

Channel 6 on the V8 is routed to the trigger input on the Mutable Instruments Braids, which is in snare mode, then out to the Mix4. One channel on the Voltage Block is routed to the FM input, which is set to modulate the volume level of the internal VCA, giving the snare some more feel (hopefully).

Channel 7 is routed out to trigger channel 4 on Maths, the unity output from which is opening the Optomix channel for the Chord Organ. The root note and chord quality on the Chord Organ are controlled by two separate channels on the Voltage Block, then routed through the Make Noise MMG filter, into the Optomix and on to Mutable Instruments Clouds for some reverb and granularizing. Then, out to the Mix4.

Channel 8 is routed to the Malekko AD/LFO, which is opening the 2nd channel on the Optomix. This channel is creating the crunchy high frequency percussion from the Malekko Anti-Oscillator, frequency modulated by the the Sputnik Oscillator, both “sequenced” by two random voltage sources from the Sputnik West Coast Random Source. The Anti-Osc is routed to the Optomix and then on to the Mix4.

Dave Smith Instruments Rev 2 vs DSI/Oberheim OB-6

"A snippet of a patch creation session where I ended up jamming OB-6 lead over a Rev 2 sequence.

Good fun, they sound very different!
